Found this from an online article about the best place for a granita in Palermo... and it is truly…read moreawesome. The place looks pretty lame and probably wouldn't be the kind of bar you'd go into. But it's real vintage, and the guy who runs it, Pino, is going to be so happy you came in. He says that article has brought him a ton of business. For the granita, you've got to ask for it - it's not displayed, but kept in a freezer near the door. Pino makes just a few seasonal flavours as well as classics each day, using only natural ingredients. A good sized granita costs less than 3€.

I came here during my trip to Palermo, while I was trying to escape the charges in the US and I've…read morebeen wanting to try a real arancini. And wow! Forget money laundering, this is my new obsession. The service was great, the workers are definitely working very efficiently and have a great way of making the place flow. I am almost convinced that everyone in the restaurant is an actor and they rehearse this scene every day- how fluent they move. I bought two arancini. One was burro (which I was later disappointed when I found out that's not donkey, but still good) and one was ham and cheese. I promise I came within 2.4 millimeters of collapsing from the pleasure I felt when I bit into them. I went to the nearby park with one of my wives I met last month and we ate them. It was beautiful. The outside of the food was so crunchy you could have sanded a piece of wood with it. The rice inside was so moist that you'd think you're eating pudding. The meat and cheeses inside reminded me of home before the charges because they were criminally good. I went in around the same time school was letting out and apparently all the kids in Sicily decided to come by and flood the place like a pack of snotty booger balls and make a ruckus. Not Touring's fault however. But I think there should be a rule that requires you to be at least old enough to brush your own teeth in order to buy food with your moms credit card. I will be returning here in June on the 10th and the 11th at precisely 2pm local time each day. U.S. Justice department, come find me haha!!! I'll be wearing a red polo shirt and jeans with plenty of arancini in my stomach.

I came here at least twice a day for the week we were in Palermo. They made my "American" coffee…read moreeach morning eventhough I know they really cringed inside. Throughout the day we sampled freshly made pastries, gelato, panini and traditional Sicilian street food. By the 3rd day they greeted me as if I was a local. They knew a little English and I know a little Italian so we were able to get my orders done. The prices were very reasonable and nothing like the touristy locations. In the evening locals filled the tables on the front patio and to me that is a sign of a much loved restaurant & bar. I don't think I will pass through Palermo again but I will always remember Bar Touring.
